https://en-gb.facebook.com>events
Much is happening at this top international show and of course companies are releasing , amongst them are BROKEN TOAD and this is one as an exclusive to celebrate the shows anniversary.
Kris from Broken Toad has always released something different ( just look at the website !!!) but this one has in his words " a little more meaning behind it " .
The subject was a worry to Kris and he fully understands and respects individuals thoughts and in no way wishes to capitalise on the events surrounding Anne , wishing only for it to be a memorial to an often forgot person .
Kris has tried to be totally respectful , and to do justice to the subject which has a deeper meaning to Broken Toad.
Again in his words and which I totally agree with : "We cannot let people forget about the horrors and tragedy she endured "
Note: The release is ONLY available over the period 16th-22nd October via the webstore and also at Broken Toads stand ( L2 at SMC) , after that it will be removed from sale.
The Diary
Anne had kept many diary's and called one Kitty
The final entry :
Millions of children suffered persecution , only a small number wrote diaries and journals that have survived. In these accounts, the young writers documented their experiences, confided their feelings, and reflected on the trauma they endured during these nightmare years.
While in hiding, Anne kept a diary in which she recorded her fears, hopes, and experiences. Found in the secret apartment after the family was arrested, the diary was kept for Anne by Miep Gies, one of the people who had helped hide the Franks.
Anne's diary was published after the war in many languages originally being called Diary of a Young Girl and Anne Frank has become a symbol for the lost promise of the children who died in the Holocaust.
The house they existed in is now a museum and more details can be found at www.annefrank.org .
Of course there are many books and also You Tube articles to watch ...all giving an insight into Anne and her short life and the legacy she has given the world.
This has been a very personal and moving research as I had not long finished reading the diary .
Continued in next post

The release is very poignant and emotional in subject choice and yet it has a message of hope in my opinion telling us to look at the worlds troubled past and look to the future .Kris from Broken Toad has always released something different ( just look at the website !!!) but this one has in his words " a little more meaning behind it " .

The subject release is Anne Frank
Lets have a small amount of background on Anne
- Anne was born Annelies Marie Frank on June 12, 1929, in Frankfurt, Germany, to Otto and Edith Frank.
- Eyes are said to be a greeny brown with dark brown almost black hair and being 1.63m in height
- Otto Frank fled to Amsterdam in the Netherlands, where he had business connections. The rest of the Frank family followed Otto, with Anne being the last of the family to arrive in February 1934
- During the first half of July, Anne and her family went into hiding in an apartment which would eventually hide four Dutch Jews as well—Hermann, Auguste, and Peter van Pels, and Fritz Pfeffer.
- For two years, they lived in a secret attic apartment behind the office of the family-owned business at 263 Prinsengracht Street, which Anne referred to in her diary as the Secret Annex.
- On August 4, 1944, the Gestapo discovered the hiding place after being tipped off by an anonymous Dutch caller.
- That same day, Gestapo official SS Sergeant Karl Silberbauer and two Dutch police collaborators arrested the Franks. The Gestapo sent them to Westerbork on August 8. One month later, in September 1944, authorities placed the Franks, and the four others hiding with them, on a train to the Auschwitz Selected for labor due to their youth, Anne and her sister, Margot were transferred to the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp near Celle, in northern Germany, in late October 1944.
- Both sisters died of typhus in March 1945, just a few weeks before British troops liberated Bergen-Belsen on April 15, 1945.
